Thank Goodness You're Here! is set in a fictional town of Barnsworth, in Northern England. The game's protagonist is a traveling salesman, having arrived to meet the mayor. Since they came too early, they pass their time by exploring and meeting the locals, who give them various, increasingly stranger tasks.
The game's story is based on traditional Yorkshire folklore.
The gameplay of Thank Goodness You're Here! consists of two layers. The first is exploring Barnsworth from the isometric perspective. We must travel around the town, meet its inhabitants and accept various tasks, such as lawnmowing or baking cakes. Over time, the missions become increasingly stranger, leading to weirder and wackier adventures. Completing tasks unlocks new areas of the town, and therefore new characters and new tasks. The second are side-scrolling action sequences, requiring good reflexes.

COGconnected: 85 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Thank Goodness You’re Here! manages to deliver a comedic adventure like no other. Daring to push the envelope, the game delves into the sub-genres paying homage to the greats while carving a unique identity in the medium. Although it’s a short adventure with simplistic gameplay, the set pieces you experience are truly hilarious and will stay with you long after the runtime. So, if you’re after a proper belter, tha can’t go wrong wi’ this. Tha’ll be over the moon wi’ it!
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Deven McClure
It's particularly impressive the way the game manages to subtly corral the player by changing areas slightly over time, creating a largely linear experience that still feels like it offers some level of free exploration. The very short length of the title and the fact that the overall gameplay is never that complex may be a drawback for some, but it's the sort of title that's more about the overall experience. Thank Goodness You're Here! is a wild, clever ride that's incredibly unique, and a great way to spend an afternoon.
